Question 1 of 5
A client has a new prescription for Ferrous sulfate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is to take Ferrous sulfate on an empty stomach. This medication is best absorbed when taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Instructing the client to take it with milk, before bedtime, or with antacids can decrease its absorption and effectiveness.
Question 2 of 5
A healthcare provider is educating a group of new parents about immunizations. The provider should instruct the parents that the series for which of the following vaccines is completed prior to the first birthday?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Rotavirus vaccine. The series for the Rotavirus vaccine is completed prior to the first birthday as it is only administered to infants less than 8 months of age. This vaccine provides protection against severe diarrhea and vomiting caused by rotavirus infection, which is common in infants and young children.
Question 3 of 5
A client with tobacco use disorder is being educated about Nicotine replacement therapy. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To maximize the effectiveness of nicotine gum, the client should avoid eating or drinking 15 minutes before and while using it. This helps ensure proper absorption of nicotine through the oral mucosa.
Question 4 of 5
A client has a new prescription for Timolol. How should the nurse instruct the client to insert eye drops?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When administering eye drops, it is essential to instruct the client to drop the prescribed amount of medication into the center of the conjunctival sac. This technique helps ensure proper distribution of the medication and reduces the risk of potential adverse effects. Pressing on the inside corner of the eye is done to prevent systemic absorption, applying drops directly on the cornea can cause irritation, and wiping the eyes after application can lead to decreased effectiveness of the medication.
Question 5 of 5
When providing discharge instructions to a client prescribed Warfarin, which herbal supplement should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: St. John's wort should be avoided by clients taking Warfarin as it can reduce the medication's effectiveness by interacting with its metabolism. While garlic and ginseng are also known to interact with Warfarin, the specific supplement the nurse should instruct the client to avoid in this scenario is St. John's wort.
